It was genuinely just a question, because I wasn't exactly sure.

Lol.. very first PC was a really slow IBM computer that I played the first Duke Nukem on. This was around '98 or '99 so I wager it was a '95 since It had windows '95 on it. 

But who cares, Duke Nukem!

Dell Dimension 4600... had a 2.8 GHz P4, an old,old video card that i dont even know the name of, and a couple of 80GB hard drives. I had 2GB of RAM that i had found in other, more useless computers.

 

I played my first pc game on this computer. It was lame. It was called Combat Arms lol. If any of u have played it u would know its pretty terrible. I didnt play that for very long. When I was introduced to minecraft, I played that on it. got like 20 FPS lol it was retarded.

 

I also used this machine first to start my minecraft server. It was able to hold about 10 people before crashing, and crashes happened often, CPU was maxed at 100% 24/7 though lol. this problem is what led to me getting my current PC, originally bought from Cyberpower (NEVER AGAIN) cause I had no idea what I was doing, and then upgraded several times. RAM, CPU, PSU, oh and GPU; added some junk hard drives cause im poor

The first computer I have used was one with Windows 3.11. I can't remember the hardware specifications, but I do remember that I really liked Paint. ;)

Our family pc after that (I think) was a 500Mhz discounter pc which was really bad and crashed quite a lot without any reasons. .

One of those old beige flat lying ones often used in schools. with I believe a 15'' CRT on top of it, no clue about specs but was pretty slow and would often shut down due to accidentally blocking the only side exhaust...
